The night was thick with fog as Feriha, Eric, and Ravihan returned to the building, wary and tense.
Selene had left them alive yesterday, but her message still echoed in their minds: "The real game begins tomorrow." 🤔
Feriha glanced at Eric. "We need to be careful. She'll anticipate everything we do."
Eric nodded, eyes scanning the shadows. "Agreed. But we also need to stick together."
Ravihan's jaw tightened. "Yes, together… but I don't like how close you two have been."😟
Feriha blinked. "Ravihan…"
"I'm just saying," he snapped, his voice low but tense, "we can't afford distractions. You're all too close, and it's dangerous."😐
Eric's calm demeanor didn't waver, but his eyes sharpened. "We're focused. Personal feelings aren't interfering."
Ravihan's gaze flicked at Feriha, green eyes glowing in the dim light. "I hope so. Because if anything happens to you…"👁👁
Feriha placed a hand on his arm. "I'm right here. I trust both of you. Let's focus."👩
The tension was thick, almost unbearable; a mix of jealousy, protectiveness, and unspoken emotions simmering beneath the surface.
Even though the shelter was illuminated by the full moon, all three of them felt dark, and somehow they tried to sleep. 😴
